Progress on shoulder is going great. Might be able to back squat next week. I was able to fit the bar behind me today but didn't feel comfortable doing that with a full load so I did front squats up to 315. Failed on a third rep, but this is a major improvement over 305 x 2 a couple of weeks ago.

In another milestone I think I may have finally gotten the hand of doing the aforementioned with a snatch grip instead of folding my arms. Will try it out with my working sets next week.

Yesterday saw major breakthroughs. Basically, I repeated the exact workout (dips + Arnold press, two movements I have not been able to do since) on the day of my subluxation.

1. Was able to do dips with 100 lbs. for 5 reps. No pain except crushing my fingers with this cumbersome-ass set-up (keeping the plates behind me instead of in front so I don't lean forward, which is a pain to prepare), but whatever, it's training, not gardening.
